The frequency of the killer‐cell immunoglobulin‐like receptor (KIR) genes and transmembrane alleles ofKIR2DL4were studied in coastal (Mugil community) and inland (Ilaita community) communities in Papua New Guinea. Linkage disequilibria betweenKIRgenes and between alleles ofKIR2DL4and theKIRgenes were similar to those found in other populations suggesting conservation of the usual gene order in Papua New Guinean haplotypes. Significant differences in the frequency ofKIRgenes were found between the two populations despite being separated by only 300 km. Examples of individuals who lacked theKIR2DL4gene and others whoseKIR2DL4allele appeared to have 11 adenines in the polyadenine tract in exon 6 were identified. A relatively low frequency of the KIR A haplotype was found in both populations and particularly in the inland community. TheKIRgene frequencies were consistent with the inland Ilaita community being closely related to Australian Aborigines and southern Indians, whereas theKIRgene frequencies of the coastal Mugil community appeared to have been influenced either by recent or ancient admixture from populations with a higher frequency of the KIR A haplotype.
